Anyone knew who wrote the original version of this?

I heard Geoff Boycott do  something very similar on TV in the Seventies?

But mate of mine told me he did this in the late 60s.

@romanbrough

Although the original author is unknown and is based on the arrangement and

performances by Leslie Sarony (1897-1985) in the English Halls.

The poem has been attributed to (Eugene Field) an English author primarily

associated with 19th century childrens stories.

The Fivepenny Piece did this version to Ghost Riders in the Sky in 1977.

Its been recited and sang by many different people, although i have never

heard of a cricketer doing it. Thanks for looking.

@Snoopythack1

It sure is....I once went into 'Crotty's' shop, but became speechless when I saw him face ter face. Can you believe me becoming speechless?!! I almost piddled with nerves....

[Snoopythack1]

@Kittielips. I wondered  where Crotty's came from, was Eddie related to the owners of the shop then ?

[Kittielips]

@Snoopythack1

Apparently it was a family business.
